Shetland Islands Regulated Fishery (Scotland) Order 1999 (SSI 1999/194)
Item 4 on the agenda is another piece of subordinate legislation. We are to consider the Shetland Islands Regulated Fishery (Scotland) Order 1999 (SSI 1999/194).
The Subordinate Legislation Committee discussed the order this morning and several concerns were expressed about technical aspects of it. The committee has continued that matter until next Tuesday, when it will consider the Executive's response, and a report will be issued later next week.
As the lead committee, we are obliged to consider that report before we report to the Parliament. At this stage, do members believe that it would be appropriate to continue consideration of this matter until our next meeting, so that the views of the Subordinate Legislation Committee can be properly taken into account?
Members indicated agreement.
In that case, we will move on.
